Atlantis' twelve Type 9 shuttlecraft are the ''Elias Greg,'' the ''Hawthorne,'' the ''Drayton,'' the ''Mirabelle,'' the ''Elysia,'' the ''Drake,'' the ''Vondra,'' the ''Tempera,'' the ''Sheldar,'' the ''Roanoke,'' the ''Shambhala,'' and the ''Lyoness''. | Atlantis' twelve Type 9 shuttlecraft are the ''Elias Greg,'' the ''Hawthorne,'' the ''Drayton,'' the ''Mirabelle,'' the ''Elysia,'' the ''Drake,'' the ''Vondra,'' the ''Tempera,'' the ''Sheldar,'' the ''Roanoke,'' the ''Shambhala,'' and the ''Lyoness''. | ||

The Atlantis also requisitioned a single [[Hawkeye class]] scout ship. The dual-crew vessel is primarily a mobile sensor platform, often used as a redundancy to the Atlantis' long range sensors, so Atlantis has no surprises in the war-riddled [[Par'tha Expanse|Expanse]]. Unlike the shuttles, the scout ship was not christened with a name, and is simply identified as "Hawkeye-1" in comm traffic.<br><br><br><br><br> | |||

The AeroShuttle was initially conceived as a support craft for the Intrepid | The AeroShuttle was initially conceived as a support craft for the Intrepid class, but some were also assigned to other starships and Starfleet installations. Construction of two prototypes began in 2369, closely followed by 15 production craft, seven of which were assigned to the new Intrepid class ships. | ||
The AeroShuttle was then officially commissioned in 2370 and its success led to the development of the Waverider atmospheric operations shuttlecraft. | The AeroShuttle was then officially commissioned in 2370 and its success led to the development of the Waverider atmospheric operations shuttlecraft. | ||
